Core Concepts

Factions

Groups of players working together with shared territory and resources. Each faction has a unique name, description, and internal hierarchy with customizable ranks.

Territory Claims

Factions can claim chunks of land to protect them from other players. The amount of land a faction can claim is limited by their collective power.

Power System

Each player contributes power to their faction. Power increases over time when online and decreases when players die. This creates strategic depth around territorial control.

Relationships

Factions can have different relationships with each other:

• Allies: Full cooperation and shared protection
• Truces: Non-aggression pacts
• Neutral: Default relationship with no special benefits or restrictions
• Enemies: Open hostility with the ability to conquer territory
